Unexpected Art
Who would have thought that art could be found in the form of a DJ spinning records? I would have never thought of this as an art form until I visited Studio B over the weekend. Studio B is a dance club in Brooklyn with a sort of indie vibe to it. When I was there, although there wasn’t a live performance, the energy and the music were both amazing. Daft Punk’s new CD was being played and I think that they are a very good band, so I came to hear their new music. However, the DJ that was spinning the CD put his own interpretation into it and he made the songs sound more interesting than they already were. Every so often, he would scratch the record and put in special sound effects of his own. Before attending this event, i never actually took the time to consider or appreciate the work of music DJ’s. However I feel that this is a very unique art form that should not be missed. The DJ at Studio B did not simply mess around with the songs and scratch them up. He added his own personal style to the music, and he made his own art out of existing art. After listening to the DJ spinning the record I became jealous because unfortunately I have no musical talents.

I never actually liked wen DJ’s would mix songs in clubs b/c some of them didnt know wat they were doing. Like they’d combine a techo sound with a 50 cent song, which is all good and well, but they’d then follow it with a Coldplay remix. But i do understand how mixing music and stuff is art

I love listening to the radio late at night on the way home coming from somewhere, the way the DJs remix some songs adds to the song.
